Don Lockwood:
What's your lofty mission in life that lets you sneer at my humble profession?
Kathy Selden:
I'm an actress...
Don Lockwood:
Oh...
Kathy:
...on the stage.
Don Lockwood:
Oh, on the stage, well I'd like to see you act, what are you in right now? I could brush up on my English, or bring along an interpreter, that is if they'd let in a *movie* actor.
Kathy Selden:
I'm not in a play right now, but I will be. I'm going to New York...
Don Lockwood:
Oh, you're going to New York and then some day we'll all hear of you, won't we? Kathy Selden as Juliet, as Lady Macbeth, as King Lear. You'll have to wear a beard for that one of course.
Kathy Selden:
Laugh all you want, but at least the stage is a dignified profession.
Don Lockwood:
[scoffing]
Dignified profession.
Kathy:
What do you have to be so conceited about? You're nothing but a shadow on film... just a shadow. You're not flesh and blood.
Don Lockwood:
Oh, no?
[moves amorously towards her]
Kathy:
Stop!
Don Lockwood:
What can I do to you, I'm only a shadow.
